Hello folks,

I need your help!!
I want to write an application, probably windows service, to detect if
anyone using the client pc have visited other url other than home page that
was set, and log this url to eventlog or file stream.

first of all, how do i detect if IE is running? by process name?
and then, how do i detect if url has been changed in IE? listen to tcp
port? some sort of changeurl event exist?


any suggestion in term of classes and techniques to use, any guideline or
samples are helpful.
thanks in advance.
 
Hi Mike,
I assume that not everyone has his own direct line connection to the
internet.
Probably it is simpler to take the log file from your proxy or firewall.
There mostly you can recognize too if a tcp port is active (not always)
But it depends of course on the connection system you are using.
The logs are mostly for humans unreadable, so you can make with VB.net nice
reports from it.
I hope this helps you a bit
Cor
